Susan LaffertyIt’s not a time for holding back. Or wrestling with words before we share the Truth that sets captives free.
The time is now—for gospel-ready feet and voices. Pens and screens.
Spreading the Good News that Jesus saves rich and poor, old and young, weak and strong.
From every nation, tribe, people, and language.
Our taxi driver offers to give us a brief tour of the town where we’re staying. On an island in Chile.
Four of us pile in and go along the narrow village streets. First, climbing gravel roads to park at the top of a hill.
An overlook.
Breathtaking view of the ocean.
In cold October winds.
In December, a treasured necklace from Japan falls on the floor. Breaks.
And I get on my knees. Gathering broken pieces. Fragments.
Trying to put the puzzle back together. But it sits.
Incomplete.
So I place what remains in a bowl. Not ready to give up on it yet. Perhaps a shard or two skittered under a cabinet.
